Who are we?

We are scientists, researchers, veterinarians, and pet people who believe that The Pet Effect is more than just a cool topic to bring up at parties. This is important scientific information that affects everybody. And people of influence are using these discoveries to make decisions—from doctors who are recommending pets to their patients, to policy makers who are working to loosen restrictions on where pets can be with their people.

How can you help?

We’ve given you the knowledge and data, now share it with the world. The important conversations that will follow (and they always do) will go a long way in changing perceptions and policies about pets.
